Dave Callaham (Doom, The Expendables) has recently been hired to rewrite the script.

Aaron Guzikowski (Contraband, Prisoners) wrote an early draft.

There's no telling how much "horror" will actually be in this film, as execs at Universal have expressed interest in making it more of an action-adventure. Here's what they had to say in a recent interview: "We’ve tried over the years to make monster movies — unsuccessfully, actually. And we had an epihany, which is that the horror genre has a ceiling; it’s not global. There’s a reason why monster characters are enduring, generation upon generation. So we took a good, hard look at it, and we settled upon an idea, which is to take it out of the horror genre, put it more in the action-adventure genre and make it present day, bringing these incredibly rich and complex characters into present day and reimagine them and reintroduce them to a contemporary audience."

This project is part of Universal's attempt to reboot their original Monster's library, which recently included Dracula Untold.
